Aloe Vera has been used for centuries because of its numerous health benefits. The plant is separated into 2 products: latex and gel.

The gel is actually the pulp or juice from the inner part of the leaves, which is a clear substance that looks like jelly. It contains carbohydrate polymers and many other organic and inorganic compounds.

The latex is known as aloe juice, and it is obtained from the part beneath the outer skin of the leaves. This yellow extract can be used as a laxative- for this purpose it is dried up, to produce granules with dark brown color.

Sometimes, due to incomplete separation process, aloe latex can be found in the gel, which needs to be removed because of its strong laxative properties.

Processes aloe gel is difficult to be kept stable, so the best option is to use freshly prepared from broken leaves.

Aloe Vera gel is best known for treating skin irritations, minor burns and wounds. It can be used as a drink or in skincare products.
